As I recently put on my Facebook status...I have discovered the secret to keeping Christmas toys exciting.
Step 1 open Christmas Day.
Step 2 pack up all toys 5 days later into boxes.
Step 3 ship across country.
Step 4 have boxes arrive a week later. It's like Christmas II only 12 days after!
Optional: Have movers come 10 days after kids get toys back to box them up another time and keep them on a truck for 7-10 days! I might win mom of the year.
The boys received their 6 boxes from Nana's house today containing all our Christmas presents from multiple sources. They are so excited to open them and play with everything again. I am trying to keep some control - I have limited them to one box at a time until everything is looked at and then we figure out where it is going in the playrooom. I'm trying to keep chaos to a minimum in our house for the next 2 weeks! (Yeah...right...)
Have I mentioned that having to keep a house clean and in "show" order is miserable?! There is a reason we have always moved out of a house before we put it on the market. But since this is a rental, they either wanted another month's rent or they would list it for showing 30 days before we moved out. Needless to say...we've had multiple showings since Christmas!
